Thanks guys for the help Thats what i thought. One of my door panel removal tools should work great for it! Now i just need to find th hose/pipe for the HPX locally.

 

Ok guys getting this thing apart and havent noticed this addressed. The threads that go into the head on the HPO line, do they get loc tite also?

 

mine didnt, but i dont know if thats correct or not.

 

Alos how long does it take for all the oil to drain out of the rear plug on the HPOP? If i would have know it would take this long i would have removed it first....lesson learned

 

well its been a while now, and the oil level is still good!! 500-600 miles and my oil level hasent dropped! plus my mpg shot up allot! its great! guess that loose line wasent letting the injectors fire good or something... who knows.. i know im very happy man again!

driveway looking allot better! need to get a power washer to clean it off the rest the way.

MPG improved! great great great!

dont have to buy more oil!

 

what camera were you using. my ex is leaking as well even after replacing the turbo o rings.

 

The OP stated that he used a Sony Cybershot dsc-t1. Have you looked at the passenger side HPOP line-to-head fitting? The OP posted some fantastic photos of what to look for.
